Hello,

I'm using TomTom 5 with Globalsat BT-338.
TomTom recognizes my GPS and provides most of the routing
functions (to specific addresses, POIs etc.).

However, it refuses to navigate to a specified GPS location.
When I select "Navigate to ...", the "GPS position" option is
shown in gray color and cannot be selected. Another (probably
related) problem I experience is that I cannot store the current
GPS location in Favorites. Selecting "Add favorite", and then
"GPS position" **always** yields the following error message:
"No usable locations near GPS position". I tried this in many
different places, but the function never works.

Finally, in the Main Menu, I always get a warning notice in the
bottom left part of the screen (in the blue area below the menu
itself) that says "No valid GPS signal!". Again, TomTom does
recognize my GPS and can use it for navigation to addresses.
The GPS status window also shows GPS to be working (the GPS is
configured in TomTom as "Other Bluetooth GPS"), so this
warning notice is quite strange. I think it might be the reason
I experience the above problems with navigating to / using
specific GPS locations.

Any ideas ?

Thank you in advance !
